L’Occitane Herbae ~ new fragrance

Posted by Robin on 7 March 2019 11 Comments

L’Occitane has launched Herbae, a new fragrance for women.

Based on, and inspired by the wild grasses that grow in the heart of Provence, HERBAE par L’OCCITANE is a green, fresh and floral fragrance. It's the emobidment [sic] of nature in all its authenticity and simplicity.

Citrusy and spicy head notes of bergamot and pink pepper give way to an intrepid, enthralling heart in which wild rose encounters the sharpness of bramble, evoking the scents of a stroll through the forest. Finally, the fragrance settles into a base of sweet vernal grass, its warm and coumarin notes tinged with honey and accentuated by woody and spicy undertones of cashmeran. Its musky facets are enhanced by a touch of musk, giving the ensemble a beautiful roundness.

Additional notes include ambrette seed, white nettle flower accord and clary sage.

L'Occitane Herbae is available in 10, 50 and 90 ml Eau de Parfum and in matching bath & body products.

    That background picture looks so pretty and the bottle itself looks quite nice as well.

    First time i want a loccitane fragrance, lovely green and notes! Hope it doesn’t have the typical shampoo accord that seems to be on almost all fragrances from the brand

    Robin, this bottle is even nicer looking than yesterday’s green one! Also, there is a typo in the first paragraph with the word “embodiment”.

    I was lucky the other day because this Baptist Church put a sign out they were having a free market. We went just to look around and since I am six months pregnant with my first child (a girl!!) every church lady was so nice and literally all over me. One of them handed me a christmas-wrapped gift box and said they are cosmetics inside from a friend of hers but she does NOT use anything but Nivea cream so I should have it, brand new, unopened etc. I felt like opening my own christmas gift!! Inside was a couple of L’occitane solid perfumes and a box of L’occitane Amande Supple Skin oil. Out of curiosity I googled it and it cost $50.00 bucks alone! I tried this oil that is suppost to be great for all Your skin… and it is! I love this stuff now and instead of using a regular body lotion I will put this after my showers! Very mild but deliscious fragrance of this oil. Perfect for me to just put a dab of an almond fragrance with it! I’m so happy. I do like l’occitane’s stuff so I am like real happy!

    “Its musky facets are enhanced by a touch of musk…” Sold! But the flacon does look pretty and herbal sounds good. Re typical fade-to-Glade of most of L’Occitane’s scents, the body milk and hand creams are warmer, e.g. Néroli & Orchidée and Fleur d’Or & Acacia.
